Written By Richard Vogt

Presenters: Heidi Bennett, Russell Owen and Janet Dawson


When: Saturday, July 11, 1-3pm


Where: Zoom



What:

Whether you are on a 2-shaft Rigid Heddle or Inkle Loom, a table or floor loom with 4 or more shafts weaving software can really help you with the planning, designing, warping and treadling your next project. Play with color choices, play with drafts, re-arrange shafts, alter patterns and have fun exploring the vast resources of online patterns. All in the comfort of your easy chair.

  • IWeaveIt App -IOS and IWeaveIt Desktop

  • Tempo

    Weave

  • Fiberworks
